Green and cream for Easter

This green and cream spring card has an Easter verse inside - I need to locate an Easter sentiment!  The bg is embossed with the Cuttlebug Victoria EF, and the rest is odds and ends of cs!  The coloring of Beccy;s digital image is with Prismas gel pen and chalk pencils - in varying shades of green.  I added a shimmery bauble, and actually remembered to use my corner rounder punch!  The sketch is tweaked to create an A2 rectangle.

I still have not figured out what the problem is with my uploads - the image looks fine in my computer file, but somehow on the trip to this blog blotches appear - they make the card look silvery in spots.  Sorry...!

HB, Deb

What a joy to make a card for our daughter (although I wish she did not get older - reminds me that is happening to me as well!).  On top of everything else - she is a big fan of my cards!!!  The color is a very dark teal - looks black here.  I also experimented more with the Nesties ovals - I cut the main image and then the bg mat  in dark teal.  I also cut a second oval the same size as the white one - so the dark would show through the slits.  I colored the image with Prismas.  I am not at home right now and have forgotten the name of the SU set - and I thought the corner DP matched the flowers quite well.  I used Cheery Lynn branch dies for the corners.  Hard to see - the pale green is a very subtly patterned paper.  The stamp, solid cs, and leafy dies have been in my stash for a long time.  The ovals and DP are quite new.

Aged birthday card


Seems like I always need masculine cards!  This sentiment from TLC seemed just right for a distressed card.  I sponged with Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Distress ink.  Once again I ran the birthday folder through twice - hard to see here, but the "seam" does not show.  However, I really wish the manufacturers (artists???) would listen and create a landscape birthday folder!
